Does anyone know what we can expect from Agentic AI in PayPal in the next 12 to 24 months in terms of it's capabilities? I understand Lores is fully focused on Agentic AI and will likely use it to reduce the workforce like he has done at HP. I'm... — read more

I have not heard of this company? Irish. Are the news true
Re-interviewing after a buyout?
Is it common to have to re-interview for your current position if there is a buyout? If it's a bigger company like Amazon that acquire, can I ask for a raise right away? I figure they might be afraid of a mass Exodus and would like to pay extra to... — read more
We're so sc--wed if there's a takeover
It'll be a true layoff bloodbath. I really, really hope it doesn't happen.
PIR?

Bonus
Curious,, how much of a bonus did you all get ? And when is it being paid
EOY
I have my EOY Friday What are people getting? I started 3 years ago. My partner got 4.25% yesterday. Employe 8 year
Staying doesn't feel like winning
My team is half the size it was last year but the output expected from us is exactly the same. I'm overwhelmed every single day trying to cover the gaps. Getting a package to leave is starting to seem like a better deal than this grind.
is PayPal employee counted bloated?
A lot of chatter of PayPal employee count compared to the rest of the industry. For those working there, or personally familiar, do you feel 24k+ people justified? Why so many more compared to, say, Block or especially RobinHood?
Newly Graduate lay off Worries
Hello, as a newly graduate at paypal only less than one year on popular team, am I sc--wed? Just dont want lay off...
I'd be gone from this place in a second
If there were any other options. But the way things are, most of us are stuck here until something else comes along. I'm absolutely furious at being cornered like this. I'm sure the corporate overlords everywhere are loving these circumstances.
F this company so hard
Getting rid of sabbaticals? What the expletive are you thinking? F this place and it's "benefits"
PYPL: proving that even ESPP investing can go wrong.
Honestly unbelievable. Losing money on PYPL through ESPP feels like a joke.
Ceo
So Alex is the one getting laid off. When will the rest of his cronies be gone so 🤔
I've grown not to care about the layoff rumors
It’s not that they're always wrong. It's that I've become so exhausted by the constant stress, uncertainty, and pressure that I've gone numb. If my job is gone, I'll just deal with it somehow - bad job market, rising costs and all. I just can't deal... — read more
My exit could save a job
Since I'm leaving next month regardless (which nobody needs to know yet, of course), I'd gladly take the layoff package if it meant preventing a cut for a coworker who depends on this income. The management should offer a voluntary option, especially... — read more
Emails expected on Tuesday, January 29 (CA & US)

The downfall will begin soon.
Because it’s an American company, people will eventually boycott PayPal anyway.
EOYR??
End of year reviews coming up. What's everyone expecting to see and is this supposed need to label some employees as needs improvement actually been enforced. Any dept rumors of layoffs yet?
Alex deserves an award for how well he’s leading this company
The only thing he’s doing is planning ahead for the 2026 layoffs in January
You think it’s bad now…
Imagine Apple purchased PayPal…
Executives really believe in the company
Several senior PayPal executives have sold more than $1.5 million in company stock since the October earnings report, leading some to argue that they should be held accountable.
So much has changed
Used to be that if you got a job here, you were set. You could actually plan a future, take pride in the work. Now it’s all about cost cuts. They’ve traded loyalty for churn, and it shows.
Layoffs
Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone’s heard anything about potential redundancies or layoffs at PayPal in the new year? There’s been a bit of chatter lately, but nothing concrete, so I’m curious if anyone’s picked up on any rumours or has a... — read more

Any rumors for layoffs in Ireland this coming year or what do people think. Top management moving on or been pushed on makes ya wonder what is happening. Seems like Irish employees are expensive to get rid of with rules around payouts so maybe...
Laid off but framed as a termination 7/18
But in my case, my manager set me up with a Final Warning meeting with some trumped-up reasons. I was shocked. So I just tried to really stay on the ball for the next two weeks, and I assumed everything was gravy. It wasn't gravy. They didn't call... — read more
US compliance
Anyone else heard rumors of US brm and sanctions teams being laid off soon, like DD was?
The issue is at the top, not with the talent pool
New leadership came in talking nonstop about wanting “fresh talent,” but there’s been significant voluntary turnover in 2025—even among the new people they brought in. Recently 7/14-7/15 layoffs that impacted people who were previously considered... — read more
The Intuit effect
The board brought on the wrong group of individuals to take over this company. Now we deal with the Intuit effect as this company becomes the prehistoric dinosaur with lack of innovation.
Are we done with layoffs for a while?
In all honesty, we can’t afford to lose anyone else. If they cut one more person, they may as well disband the whole team. There’s a limit to how much extra work we can take on, and we’re already leaning on that line. We can’t take any more, it’s as... — read more
